Tilnefning nr. 27 - Guðjón

Johannesburg - Housemartins[1987]

Nú er komið að Housemartins – Johannesburg .
Líklega ekki eitt af þekktari lögum þeirra en er búið að vera lengi í miklu uppáhaldi hjá mér. Lagið kom fyrst út 1987 á „The People Who Grinned Themselves to Death“



Housemartins á wikipedia

Johannesburg

Please don’t show your soul to me
I think I’d see the light shine through
And please don’t greet me on the street
I’d like to see a world without you
Please don’t change your uniform
And start to mourn the thousands dead
And please wear what you’ve always worn
And don’t be drawn by what I’ve said

’cause I’ve found there’s nothing more
That I could say to you
Nothing I could do to change your mind
Change your ways and your tune

So please don’t feel you have to sway
Or move away from how you feel
And please say what you mean to say
And always stay with a heart of steel

Hörður kynnti Housemartins fyrir mér líklega 1988-1990...hann kíkti i heimsókn til að sjá tónleika á stöð tvö...ég gersamlega féll fyrir tónlist þeirra og hef ekki beðið þess bætur enn þann dag í dag.
Þannig að Hörður hefur ýmislegt á samviskunni.
